Claims.

The present invention relates to an improvement in vented pouring spoutdevices for use on liquid holding devices such as beverage bottles andthe like, and is used for dispensing such 5 beverage from the bottlesand to carry thereon advertising display matter.

The present device is intended to supply the foregoing noted functionsand to provide a pouring stopper the component parts of which arerigidly assembled together and which will withstand the rigorous actionof forcing the cork into and out of bottles during its use, withoutrelatively bending the parts or separating them.

The foregoing and other features of advantage'will be apprehended as theherein description proceeds, and it will be obvious that modificationsmay be made herein, without departing from the spirit hereof or thescope of the appended claims. In the drawing,

Fig. 1 is an elevational view of the present device, with parts brokenaway;

Fig. 1a is a sideview of the advertising panel removed from the assemblyof Fig. 1;

2.2, Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the arrows;

Fig. 3 is a sectional View taken on'the line 3--3, Fig. 1, looking inthe direction of the arrows, and

Fig. 4 is a sectional view, taken on the line 4-4, Fig. 1, looking inthe direction of the arrows.

The present device, as in Fig. 1, comprises an advertising wing I, whichwing, Figs. 1a, 2 and 3. is a flat, semi-ovoid disc, having one portionof its edge at a and b, Fig. 1a, partaking of the curve of the pouringtube 2, Fig. 1, said edge ab being interrupted by an outstandingbendable securing lug l0.

The lower portion of the wing, as viewed in Fig. 1a, also has adownstanding, anchoring lug 8.

The pouring tube 2, Fig. 1, has an upper curved portion, the lower end,as it enters the metallic domelike cap 5, and the cork extension iithereof, being substantially straight.

The tube 2, open at its upper and lower ends, is capped by a gravityswivel cap 3, and at the exposed curved portion is slitted to permit theseated introduction therein of the curved frontal edge ab of the disc I,thus to form a partition 9, within the tube 2, as shown in Figs. 1 and3. The locking lug Iii, protrudes through a lug slot provided in theincurved section it of he tube 2, said lug being then bent against saidFig. 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 1 section I 6, as shown inFigs. 1 and 2, thus to lock the wing I, in operative relation to thetube 2. The intrusion of the wing I, into the pouring tube passage asillustrated in Figs. 1 to. 3 inclusive does not interfere with thepouring of liquid 5 therethrough, nor does the pouring tube leak, duringthe pouring operation.

The vent tube 4, Fig. 1, which is also located in the domelike cork cap5 and the cork 6, as is customary, extends downwardly a distance belowthe cork 6. The pouring tube 2 and the vent tube where they pass throughthe cap 5 may be all soldered together, to insure rigid unit assembly. iThe cork '6 is firmly fitted by bores, around said tubes 2 and 4 andinto the domelike cap 5 a short distance, as indicated in Fig. 1, atthe'broken away portion.

The wing, Fig. 1, as assembled to the structure there shown, is alsofurther anchored to the said assemb1y,by the introduction of its anchorlug 8 into the upper open end of the vent tube 4, as indicated in Figs.1 and 4. As thus constructed, the torsion applied to the wing and tubeassembly when applying the cork to a bottle doesnot injure the assemblyor loosen it, as the assembled structure is perfectly rigid, with aminimum of soldering.

I claim as my invention:

1. A pouring stopper for bottles comprising a cork, a cap therefor, apouring tube in said cork, a vent tube in said cork located adjacentsaid pouring tube, said latter tube having a longitudinal slit thereinand an extending wing member mounted in said slit and vent tube.

2. A pouring stopper for bottles as set forth in claim 1, in which theslitted pouring tube is provided with an aperture opposite said slit,said wing having a lug thereon which is entered into said aperture andbent over to lock said wing in said pouring tube and slit, and 2. prongon said wing which is entered into the bore of the vent tube.

3'. A pouring stopper for bottles, as set forth in claim 1, in which theupper pouring end of the pouring tube is curved and the extending wingmember mounted in the tube has its tube engaging edge curved to fit thecurve of the pouring tube.

4. A pouring stopper for bottles comprising a cork, a cap therefor, acurved pouring spout in said cork and cap, a vent tube in said cork andcap, and including an advertising wing comprising a disc having an edgeconforming to the curve of said spout, an extending bendable lug on saidedge and an adjacent edge having an extending anchoring lug thereon.

5. A pouring device and display means for a bottle stopper comprising atube including an outer curved discharge section having extendinglongitudinally through the wall thereof on its convex side a slot, saidsection having in the concave side of its wall and opposite the firstslot a short slot; a display disc including a wing portion, a concavebase portion passing through the first mentioned slot and being disposedin the bore of the tube, said latter portion having its concave edgeengaged against the convex face of said concave side, and an attachinglug extending from said base portion and engaged in the short slot, saidWing portion and the tube section forming manipulating means for thestopper.

6. In combination with a bottle stopper comprising a cork, a pouringtube passing through the cork and including an outer discharge curvedsection having in its wall a long slot and a short opposite slot; aventing tube also passing through the cork and having an outer terminalat one end of the long slot; a display disc including a wing extensionand having a curved base portion disposed in the bore of the tube, saidlatter portion being passed through said long slot, there being aportion of said extension resting against said terminal, and meansintegral with said base portion and being fixedly disposed in the shortslot.

7. In combination with a bottle stopper comprising a cork, a pouringtube passing through the cork and including an outer curved dischargesection having in its wall on one side of the axis of the tube a longslot, said section having in its wall opposite the first slot a shortslot; a venting tube also passing through the cork and having an outerterminal at one end of the long slot, said end being adjacent the cork;a display disc including a wing extension and having a curved baseportion disposed in the bore of said section, said latter portion beingpassed through the long slot; an attaching lug extending from said baseportion and being fixedly disposed in the short slot, and another lugextending from the wing extension and being grippingly disposed in thebore of said terminal, said latter lug being of angular cross section.

8. A bottle stopper having therein a pouring tube including an outercurved discharge section and a venting tube having an outer terminaladjoining said section, the Wall of said section having in one sidethereof an elongate slot and there being in said wall opposite the firstslot a short slot; a flat display wing having its base passed throughthe long slot in closing relation therewith, said base being disposed inthe bore of said section, there being passages on opposite sides of thebase; an attaching lug extending from said base and forming a closurefor the short slot, and another attaching lug extending from the wingadjacent its base and being disposed in the bore of said terminal, saidlatter lug also providing passages on opposite sides thereof.

9. The combination with a bottle stopper having therein a venting tubeand a pouring tube having an outer discharge section curved to one sideof the stopper, said venting tube including an outer terminal; of adisplay wing extending to the opposite side of the stopper and having abase portion so disposed in the bore of said section as to allowdischarge of the contents of a bottle, said section having in the wallthereof a slot through which said base passes; and means integral withthe wing extension and fixedly disposed in the bore of said terminal,said means being also positioned so as to allow of air ingress to thebottle.

10. The combination with a bottle stopper having therein a venting tubeand a pouring tube including an outer section, said section being curvedto one side and having in its convex wall a slot, said venting tubehaving an outer termi nal; of a display wing extending to the oppositeside and having a base portion disposed in the slot so as to close thelatter, and means integral with said wing and fixedly disposed in thebore of said terminal, said means being so positioned in the bore as toallow of air movement therethrough.
